Guide 3: Mineral Tea (Clean & Simple Method)

Best for: beginners or gardeners who prefer liquid feeding without compost handling

Why choose this method

Mineral Tea offers an easy way to deliver trace minerals in liquid form. Optional molasses supports microbial activity, while aeration helps create a gentle, soil-friendly application.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Add 1 ounce of Flora Bella Bio Trace per gallon of water.

  2. Add 3 mL of molasses (optional but recommended).

  3. Aerate with an air pump for 24 hours.

  4. Apply as a soil drench around the base of plants.

Tips

  • Lightly moisten soil before application

  • Use within 24 hours of aeration

General Use Notes

  • Suitable for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and ornamentals when used as directed

  • Designed to support living soil systems, not replace them

  • Avoid overapplication—trace minerals work best in balance
